Square of Europe

Square of Europe

Square of Europe ( _ru. пло́щадь Евро́пы, romanised: "plóshchad' Yevrópy") is a square in Moscow. It is located outside the Garden Ring, just off Dorogomilovskaya Street, and borders on Kievsky Rail Terminal, the Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel, and Berezhkovskaya Embankment overlooking the Moskva River.

The square used to be part of Kiyevsky Rail Terminal Square and received its present name in 2002 after it was redeveloped and enhanced with the animate fountain "The Abduction of Europa" designed by Belgian sculptor Olivier Strebel. Another major landmark is the pedestrian Bogdan Khmelnitsky Bridge across the Moskva River, built in 2001. The bridge links the southern corner of the square to Khamovniki District.
